Two young boys were seriously hurt late Monday afternoon when a gust of wind blew an inflatable "bounce house" structure into the air with three children inside, tossing two to asphalt from at least 15 feet above ground.

The boys, ages 5 and 6, were taken to Albany Medical Center, where they were admitted for serious injuries. One suffered a traumatic head injury, officials said. A 10-year-old girl who was inside suffered minor scrapes when she fell, according to her mother.

One of the boys landed on a parked car after he was tossed out of the toy, while the other landed on asphalt when the incident happened around 3:30 p.m. off Ferry Boulevard.

There have been cases where children have actually been killed in these things during high winds.

Even pegged down I wouldn't trust one in a wind.
